Like the rest I have a mother, made a poor choice mating with my father
That deadbeat was always playing the field
So when I showed he split that’s when Nana stepped in
My childhood was no good mama’s eyes displayed the stress, a lack of sleep mixed with emptiness
Oh sweet, sweet babe don’t make the same mistakes I made

So they flew me across the ocean to the other side of the world where all types of folks are ready to be killed
I wrote down my last wishes and put ‘em in my pocket
If I happen to die, return to sender
You know my mother would want me returned to sender

I set it off, the trap they laid
Promised me I’d be getting paid
I was on my way to a college education
Well they lured me in with games but army simulations ain’t the same
Show me a simulation of my best friend getting killed
I want to see the bullet rush through his brain
Want to see his blood get spilled, ain’t the same
I’ve been duped, how about you?
